Six home cooks from all over the country competed to win cash, prizes and, of course, Tillamook Cheese. Emcee Keegan Gerhard of Food Network Challenge presided over the festivities with an impressive 3 hour long sense of humor as the contestants cooked and the audience waited. In the end, though, there could only be one winner of $5,000 and a year's supply of Tillamook cheese...and Ann Jones - also a contestant in 2007 - took the prize.

Cheese of the Week: The Cultured Way Yogurt Cheese
5 Nov 2009 | 10:00 pmI am very skeptical of any cheese not made in the traditional way cheese is usually made. For a long time, this skepticism kept me from trying yogurt cheese. I like yogurt. I like cheese. But yogurt cheese? As a lactose-lovin' gal, I just didn't see the point. Especially since many regular types of cheese are lower in lactose than you think. But when I tried The Cultured Way yogurt cheese, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The texture is creamy and the flavor is pleasant and slightly tangy. If you're a cheese lover who is trying to avoid lactose or high sodium, yogurt cheese can be a… -
Potato and Fennel Gratin
3 Nov 2009 | 6:12 amAu gratin refers to browned crust on top a dish, usually achieved by adding a layer cheese that is baked or broiled into crispy perfection. Pure genius, if you ask me. Potatoes are the most common vegetable cooked au gratin and I didn't want to mess with a proven recipe too much, however, adding a little bit of fennel to this Potato and Fennel Gratin added a subtle but lovely flavor. I used the mild but supremely versatile cheese Monterey Jack, but I think a more flavorful cheese like gruyere or comte would be even better. This gratin would make a good side dish for Thanksgiving or any other… -
Cheese of the Week: Azeitao
30 Oct 2009 | 11:04 amAzeitao is an incredibly unique cheese. Not just because you can sometimes eat it with a spoon but also because of an intensely grassy, nutty flavor with tangy, slightly bitter finish. If you're looking for a full-flavored cheese, Azeitao usually fits the bill. Sometimes, the cheese is so runny you can scoop it out of the rind with a spoon. Other times it's firmer, but still has a soft, sticky texture. Unlike many types of cheese that are thickened with animal rennet, Azeitao is thickened with plant rennet from the cardoon thistle. If you can find this Portuguese cheese, it's worth a sample. -
Cheese May Prevent Tooth Decay
25 Oct 2009 | 11:09 pmThe bad news first: Researchers have found that the high acidity in white wine may erode tooth enamel. Now, the very good news: Eating cheese with white wine neutralizes the acidity and replaces calcium that the wine erodes. You can read the whole article about white wine and tooth erosion in the BBC news. Next time you buy a bottle of white wine, grab a hunk of cheese to go with it. Even if it doesn't end up preventing tooth decay, it sure will taste good!

Cheese of the Week: Pecorino Romano
22 Oct 2009 | 11:00 pmPecorino Romano (or sometimes just called Romano) is the workhorse of Italian cheeses. Not as revered and expensive as Parmigiano-Reggiano, it is a cheese to buy in large chunks and keep in the fridge for grating over pasta and other dishes. "Pecora" means sheep in Italian, therefore all Italian cheese made with sheeps' milk is called Pecorino. Pecorino Romano was originally made near Rome, Pecorino Tuscano is made in Tuscany...you get the picture. Out of all the Italian Pecorinos, Pecorino Romano is the one I am most likely to cook with. It's not quite elegant enough in flavor to put on a…

Or you probably read it yesterday in the news - I'm a little behind in my reading. Here's the scoop, courtesy of Channel 3 news in Madison (photo above is courtesy of Jessica Arp):Liberian immigrant Mansfield Neblett, 46, told the Secret Service if he couldn't wear his cheesehead hat to see President Barack Obama's speech, he wasn't going to come.

Which means I am trying very hard to remain calm and not venture into nervous breakdown mode with my list of to-dos, last minute changes and irate phone calls from people who demand to buy tickets even though the event has been sold out for six weeks.So I decided to kill five minutes and visit a new site designed by the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, called "Cheese For Me." It promises that by just answering a few short questions, Cheese For Me will select the ideal cheese based on my flavor preferences,… -

More Sheep Milk
19 Oct 2009 | 8:14 amTake heart, dairy goat and dairy sheep cheesemakers: it's official, you have arrived. Out of a total of 314 cheeses taking home awards at the 2009 American Cheese Society, more than one-third - 133, to be exact, were goat, sheep, or blended milk cheeses. And, of 133 of those goat, sheep or blended milk cheeses, 33 hailed from Wisconsin. Wowsers. What a difference a few years makes in America's Dairyland.Ten years ago, if you milked goats instead of cows in the state of Wisconsin, you were most likely to fall into one of two categories: 1) you were Amish, or 2) you were considered to be nuts… -

Yes, you read that correctly. It is indeed cheese shaped like spaghetti. I can't believe someone didn't think of this sooner. Cheezghetti is actually 1/8-inch wide, 15-inch long strings of Provolone cheese, made at a…

Martha Loves Vermont Cheese!
2 Nov 2009 | 4:39 amWhat do Saxelby Cheesemongers and Martha Stewart have in common? Well, we're no good at baking, so that's out... And when people come to my apartment they generally peer in skeptically and heave a heavy sigh of pity as they eye mini mountain ranges of clutter, but (and there has to be a but...) we do both love Vermont cheese! In fact, Martha and her band of fellow food lovers are so enamored that they dedicated a sprawling, gorgeous spread to the Green Mountain State in the November issue of 'Martha Stewart Living'.In the pages of Martha's magazine, farms we love like Jasper Hill, Consider… -
If Video Killed the Radio Star...
26 Oct 2009 | 9:13 amIf video killed the radio star, then the old interweb revived it, zombie-like, and plunked radio down into another dimension.This week's episode of 'Cutting the Curd' on the Heritage Radio Network was all kinds of intertwined. I interviewed Chris Gray, of Consider Bardwell Farm, about the unlikely intersections of cheese and rock and roll. For Chris, it wasn't a far leap from a career in beautiful music to a gig with farmstead cheese. The permutations that technology and craft are undergoing are mind boggling, yet sort of straightforward in the end. Mr. Gray loved music for it's independent,… -

Today's email isn't about the latest and greatest American farmstead cheeses, rather it aims to pay a bit of respect to the community of people who make this crazy cheesy world tick. From the farm to the table, there are a myriad of people at large in this community called cheese that make my life, and I'm sure many of yours too, very special. I'm going to aim to illustrate some of those concentric circles of community, in a much less elaborate (and hopefully more whimsical way) than Dante did.The first and most… -

Morbier, France
5 Nov 2009 | 6:03 amI recently read an article (don’t ask me to remember where) that compared Morbier to Humboldt Fog. Naturally, I was intrigued since my love for the Fog is well-documented. But it turns out that the only thing the two cheeses have in common is the thin line of vegetable ash running through their centers. Otherwise, not so much. Humboldt Fog is a goat’s-milk cheese; Morbier is made from cow’s milk. Humboldt Fog is from California; Morbier is French. Humboldt Fog is amazing; Morbier is not. I’m not saying Morbier is a bad cheese – it was perfectly pleasant enough… -

Grès des Vosges, France
30 Oct 2009 | 10:53 amI guess it’s Old Europe week here on C+C, a brief interlude from our normal fall fare of cheddar, cheddar, and um, cheddar. Oh, and gouda. And washed rind stinkers. Okay, we love it all and we’ll eat it no matter the season. Today’s cheese was actually handed to me as I browsed in Whole Foods* last weekend. Thanks to the wonder of AT&T wireless coverage, I can’t use my iPhone in the store to access my handy “cheeses unsampled” list while I shop, so I didn’t even realize until I left the store that this was, in fact, one of the ones left on our… -
Parmigiano-Reggiano, Italy
29 Oct 2009 | 4:00 amWhen I first saw Parmigiano-Reggiano on the Wine Spectator list, I admit the first thought that came to mind was, “Duh!” It’s a no-brainer to include the cheese that sits tabletop at every Italian restaurant in the country. But many Americans likely associate it with a green can, and if you think I’m referring to that shredded junk, honey, you’re reading the wrong blog. The real Parmigiano-Reggiano comes from Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region and is D.O.P. (Protected Designation of Origin), which means that any wheel of Parm sold with that symbol is the real… -
Fiscalini Bandaged Cheddar + the Cheese School of San Francisco
26 Oct 2009 | 9:33 amI recently got to spend 48 hours in the wonderful foodie mecca of San Francisco. Unfortunately, I failed to consult the event calendar at the Cheese School of San Francisco until after booking my flight, an oversight I’ll be sure not to repeat in the future. It turned out that that very evening, as my flight was due to arrive, the School would be hosting a fundraiser for the California Artisan Cheese Guild. Needless to say I was determined to hightail it to the event. While I arrived too late to meet the cheesemaker behind the @BellwetherFarms Twitter handle, I did luck out and meet…

My Tillamook Cheese Plate
7 Nov 2009 | 3:22 amThe Lady does indeed love this Feline Foodie. Last night as a snack, she fixed up a Tillamook Cheese Plate with three of my favorites: Cheddar with Peppercorns, Smoked Cheddar and Extra Sharp Cheddar. To keep The Man appeased she threw in the Horseradish variety, which just about made The Man weep. He does love his horseradish and when you combine it with Tillamook, you can never go wrong… As you can see below, The Lady was unable to get a picture of me with my head not moving…that’s because I was scarfing down those tasty morsels so… -
Gluten Free Mac and Cheese

This recipe is just as easy as the boxed crap and filled with real food nutrition! 1 lb gluten-free pasta, cooked accordingly For the cheese sauce: 2 TB rice flour 2 TB butter 1 to 1 1/2 Cups skim milk 3 TB nutritional yeast 1 to 1 1/2 Cups cheddar, swiss, parmesan, or other blend of your favorite cheeses salt and pepper to taste Add flour and butter to a cold pan. -
Enchilada Stuffed Shells
6 Nov 2009 | 11:00 pmAs I’ve mentioned before we are big fans of Mexican food at my house. Enchiladas are one of my favorite Mexican dishes and when I found this twist I knew I had to try it. It became an instant favorite especially of my mom. It’s pretty easy to make, uses common ingredients and isn’t terribly expensive because the bulk of the ingredients can be purchased on sale or be made from scratch. Another good point is it can be made ahead and frozen. Enchilada Stuffed Shells: Ingredients: 1 box jumbo pasta shells 1 to 1 -1/2 lbs ground beef, turkey or chicken 1 onion, diced 1 or 2… -

The Cheese Shed
26 Oct 2009 | 4:00 amSomebody from England sent me a newsletter for a cheese delivery service in England. I forgot the exact quote, but Oscar Wilde once said something about how the British and the Americans had everything in common--except the language. Now I'm starting to agree! Check out the names of these crazy cheeses on this website: Cornish Crumbly, Trelawney, Miss Muffet, Tornegus, Vulscombe, and Cornish Fiesta. You can also get cheese wedding cakes! http://wwww.thecheeseshed.com From the Cheese Shed newsletter. I'd love to be lost in this Cheese Triangle, though I don't understand half the language. In… -
Isle of Man Vintage Cheddar
11 Oct 2009 | 4:30 pmI was given a sample of Cheddar, Isle of Man Vintage Cheddar. Actually, it was supposed to go to a co-worker, but I got anxious and cracked into it myself. It's from the group "Cheeses of the Isle of Man." Where is this Isle of Man? I think I heard of it once in a Beatle's song. I know of the Isle of Wight, "if it's not too dear" (in the German teuer/expensive sense.)This Isle of Man is floating out somewhere near Ireland, in the Irish sea between Liverpool and Belfast. To me, it tastes more Irish than West Country British, but is a pleasant blend of both styles and nicely aged. I'm glad I'm… -
Amaltheia Organic Dairy Farmstead Goat Cheese
4 Oct 2009 | 9:03 pm$4.99 for a little 4 oz. tub at Lifethyme on 6th Ave. in Manhattan. It is from Montana and is vegetarian. I picked it up off the shelf where I could swear it said "goat ricotta." I got all excited as I love any kind of quality ricotta, especially goat. I got a spoon at the counter, went out on the street to eat it, but it was the thickest ricotta I had ever had and it didn't taste anything like ricotta. It was dense and ever so slightly gritty when cold, but with a fresh, clean taste. When it comes to room temp, it gets creamy, but still is denser than some other fresh goats. This probably… -
still here...
28 Sep 2009 | 2:22 amI got sick and didn't feel like posting for a bit, but I have written on Facebook some. Anyway, stay tuned for some more cheese posts!I had a really good Vermont Butter and Cheese Chevre the other day at Murray's. It was so smooth and creamy, and had a really light flavor. The woman giving out samples put it on a cracker, but I really just wanted to eat it with a spoon! Vermont Butter and Cheese also makes an excellent sea salted cow butter in a basket plus a creme fraiche that is nice. So many of their products have won awards. http://www.butterandcheese.net.

The St. Andre' saga
21 Apr 2009 | 10:14 amIle-de-France (http://www.iledefrancecheese.com) is sponsoring a Cheese of the Month campaign this spring along with a recipe contest. The recipe entries are due at the end of May. You can read more about it at the website. April's cheese is St. Andre', the luxurious triple creme Brie. Since I write so much about cheese, Ile-de-France was kind enough to send me - a free chunk of cheese! I came home one day and there on my stoop was a box. Inside, a quarter wheel in pre-pack wrapping--a gorgeous piece for catering, like a big piece of cake. It was so pretty, I couldn't cut open the wrapping,…

A Great First Review
4 Nov 2009 | 1:24 pmTenaya Darlington, of the blog Madame Fromage, offers some very kind words for Master Cheesemakers of Wisconsin in Madison’s weekly Isthmus. My favorite excerpt sums up Becca’s work on the book quite nicely: The pictures are exquisite, capturing the essence of small towns in rural Wisconsin and the dairy hives within them. What Robert Frank did in the 1950s, capturing stark images of postwar America, photographer Becca Dilley does for the cheese state, peeling back the shrink-wrap to give us glimpses of Amish milking barns and portraits of hair-netted men with muscled fingers… -

Downtown Eastside Community Garden
31 Oct 2009 | 11:17 pmA new community garden is being built at Hastings and Hawkes, just at the end of the block from Au Petit Chavignol. I went by to have a look today, and man they work fast. The parking lot is being transformed into a sea of raised garden beds. I spoke with the organizer, and we determined that this could be a great fit for Au Petit Chavignol. We discussed the possibility of growing specific vegetables and herbs for us. How great is that! This summer our Strathcona Fruit Project was a great success. We received hundreds of pounds of local fruit from our neighbouring community, and we've turned… -
